Whee! Last Sunday Cannon was busy exploring and experimenting with the concepts of centrifugal force and the laws of gravity and other aspects of physics. His laboratory – roller coasters and other constructions in an amusement park. Great fun and some time down the road we will explain and discuss the scientific explanations for such great fun. But for now it is just plain fun!
A Curiosity - a
Fungus or as Daddy says a fun guy. Is
that a pun? 
Popping out of the ground at Miss Chery’s house were these
beautiful examples of a shelf type fungi. This type of fungus is also known as Bracket fungus. The ones we found were close to the ground
and were living on the underground roots of an old tree that had been cut down.
They are a type of mushroom. Some types of this fungus are edible but they are
not the kind Cannon likes to eat. We
will be asking lots of questions about this fungus – how does it grow – how is
it different from other types of plants and other types of fungus – so many
questions.
Where in the World is
Cannon Hoops?
would like to visit to see the penguins
and at the Taj Mahal in India 
Cannon reviewed the
continents and oceans.
We came back to the USA
… and looked at some states four ways – coin search –
quarter coins with state information and clues on the back, the state silhouette
flash cards, matching to the talking map puzzle and then finding the sate on
the large USA map. Cannon is getting very good at recognizing and finding
states on the map. Of course his
favorite two states are California Washington
We read a chapter from Frog and Toad All Year and Cannon
readily identified some sight words within the context of the story.

| Word Searching and nibbling and sipping ...yum, fresh cinnamon rolls. |
This Sunday we reviewed sight word vocabulary using the new
flashcards found a couple of new words –
choose and deviate and we added
the ASL signs for choose, later and out.
Cannon used his signs to offer me a cup of coffee on my arrival and helped make
my latte.
